<TITLE>15. Par 51-54</TITLE>L-51 "'Well,' she thought, 'we've been married for twenty-five years, and never did he do it before. So there must be something wrong now. So we know that... And Jesus is supposed to be here most any time. So I'll just act like I'm not concerned. But he don't believe that Jesus is a prophet. So if He could ever be convinced that He was a prophet, then He'd know the Word of the Lord, 'cause he's a Jew, and he knows the Word comes to the prophets. So he knows that he'd have the Word of the Lord.'"
"So she watched him, and he groomed himself in his best, and combed out his beard, and fixed his hair back, and put on his nicest turban. And he goes walking down the sidewalk, looking back to see if Rebekah is looking. And she's over at another window, peeping behind the lattice like this, seeing what he's doing."
"She got down on her knees and said, 'Thank You, Lord, thank You. He's going right straight down to see it. I know You're going to answer my prayer.'"
That's the way you got to believe: God's going to do it for you.

L-52 "So then, he goes walking out, you know, and goes down the street, and he looks around. Now, if He's going to do it, He'd go up this way under the trees. But instead of that, he went right down towards the south gate where Jesus come in at. See?
"He gets down there. He thought, 'I'll get down there early,' he said in himself, testifying later. 'I'll get down there early, and I'll see this here false prophet--so-called prophet of Galilee. When He comes by, I'll give Him a piece of my mind.'" Uh-huh. You don't realize. See, when they get real irritable, just remember God's still dealing. See? He knows how to do it.

L-53 "So you know what? When he got down there, the street was already full of people, had been there all night waiting for Him. You know, He had friends too. And he got down there and he was so little... He might've been big in his own congregation, but he was just another man in that one."
You know, I like this old-time religion. It'll make a tuxedo suit and a pair of overalls put their arms around one another and say, "Brother..." It'll make a calico dress and a--and a--a silk one put their arms around one another and say, "Sister..." It's no respect of person. You're just another man. No matter what you own, or who you are, you're just another man. There's no big shots among us. We're all God's children. That's right. Uh-huh. Oh, my.

L-54 "And here he gets down there, and he thought, 'When they see me, Zacchaeus, the great merchant of this city walking down, they'll all step aside, and say, 'Your honor, sir.' But they found out he was just another man. And he got there, he was so little among them, he--nobody--he couldn't see Jesus. He said, 'You know what? Now, this... He comes in... This is Glory Avenue. Now, He's bound to cross Hallelujah Crossing up there, up the street called Hallelujah Avenue."
He always goes them streets: Glory, and Hallelujah, and Amen, and Praise God. He always travels them roads. Just stand along there. You'll get it after while.
